Bathroom and kitchen are the most delicate rooms when it comes to floor coverings and window blinds. That’s because materials used in these rooms need to resist very well to high humidity levels. If in the kitchen you can solve this issue by installing a hood over the cooking machine, the bathroom needs special attention. This is why bathroom blinds have to be made of materials that do not change their shape when getting in contact with steam vapors. This means that you shouldn’t install wooden blinds at your bathroom windows, because in time they would bend and crack, so you’ll probably need to replace them very often. You have no idea what frequent hot showers can do to those wood slats, in case they are not treated against moisture.

Another issue with bathroom decorations is the mildew. This is what makes heavy fabric window blinds not suitable for bathrooms, especially if there is a possibility that they get wet. Because of the hot air and high humidity, the fabric won;t be able to dry completely, therefore mildew will appear sooner or later. This can have negative implications upon your health, not to mention that it smells really bad.

Either roller blinds or Venetian blinds made up of light fabrics can be suitable for bathrooms. Another good option are the bamboo blinds. Wicker, rattan and bamboo are wood species that love water, therefore you’ll be safe with your choice of bathroom window treatments. In case you insist to have the wood-like effect, you can choose those faux wood blinds, which are safe for any type of environment, so they can make great bathroom blinds.
